People love to be entertained. We love it so much that we are usually willing to pay for it. Whether you were born an entertainer or you study to become an entertainer, it is time for you to get paid for your talent.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Develop your talent. There are many ways to entertain; you can be a comedian, an actor, a DJ, a dancer or a musician. Practice your act on your friends and family, rehearse your routines or further your education through formal training.
Step2
Enjoy the act of entertaining. Not all entertainers gain a huge fan base and national fame. Most entertainers enjoy the performance and are able to find an audience to entertain. Find local venues for your entertainment. The hours for entertaining can be flexible and may include time spent auditioning or rehearsing.
Step3
Know your physical attributes. Celebrity entertainers tend to be considered beautiful or handsome by most people. You need to be sure that you work out on a daily basis if you are basing your ability to entertain on your physique. Other entertainers gain popularity by focusing on an imperfect attribute, like large ears or a funny face, to gain a fan base.
Step4
Find a place to perform. The real art in entertaining is having a place to perform where people can be entertained by you. Places that depend on entertainers include theaters, halls, nightclubs, circuses, cruise ships and theme parks. A musician might consider setting up his equipment at a mall or the subway and playing for people who pass. An actor might join an acting troupe.

I have been entertaining my class mates since early High schools ,Junior College , University and many gatherings on my originality and unique style playing the piano.
I greatly appreciate your professional candid direction as to how I should become an official entertainer getting paid for my talent.
